Q.

 An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negligibly small current passes through it. Its resistance at room temperature 27.0°C is found to be 75.3Ω. When the toaster is connected to a 230V supply, the current settles, after a few seconds, to a steady value of 2.68A. What is the steady temperature of the nichrome element? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved, is 1.70×10-4C  -1.

Detailed Solution

 Given, T0=27°C and R0=75.3Ω

 At temperature T,RT=VTiT

=230268=85.82Ω

RT=R01+αT-T0

R=Vi

Using the equation,   RT=R01+αT-T0 

We have, 85.82=75.31+1.70×10-4(T-27)

Solving, we get

T850°C
